Licensing Symantec Products

The integrated Symantec Licensing Programs are designed to streamline the purchase of Symantec software as well as support and maintenance services. Each of our licensing programs offers a Symantec agreement number (SAN) through which customers can view, track and manage all licenses and renewals purchased through that program.
With several program choices aligned to a variety of business requirements, these licensing programs offer the ability to earn greater discounts and to effectively track and manage software licenses.
